The Ford Mustang has an electric fuel pump so you should ensure that its fuses and relays are working before checking it. You may need to clean your fuel pump or replace it if your gas tank is not empty, but your vehicle has difficulty getting fuel. The Ford Mustang comes in a variety of styles and trim levels that can affect the replacement fuel pump you choose.

Instructions

    1

    Determine which fuel pump your Ford Mustang will need. This depends not only on the make and model, but also the engine size. Models made from 1964 to 1973 come in a range of engine sizes including 170 cubic inch (ci), 200 ci, 250 ci, 260 ci, 289 ci, 302 ci, 351 ci, 390 ci, 427 ci, 428 ci and 429 ci.

    Examine later models of the Ford Mustang. Models built from 1974 to 1978 were restricted to 140 ci, 171 ci and 302 ci engines. Models manufactured from 1979 to 1993 were available in 2.3 L, 3.3 L, 3.8 L, 4.2 L and 5.0 L sizes. Models made from 1994 to 2004 may be equipped with a 3.8 L, 4.6 L, 4.9 L, 5.4 L or 5.8 L engine.

    Look at the current generation of the Ford Mustang. Models made after 2005 have a 4.0 L Cologne, 4.6 L Modular or 5.4 L Triton supercharged engine.

    Relieve the pressure on the fuel system. Detach the battery's negative cable with a socket wrench and drain the fuel tank. Access the fuel pump by taking out the rear seat and removing the fuel pump access cover. Unplug the fuel pump's electrical connection.

    5

    Remove the locking ring on the fuel pump with tool 303-D0006. Lift the fuel pump so that you can access its quick connect fitting. Pull the connection apart and take the fuel pump out of the fuel tank. Discard the old O-ring seal.

    6

    Install the new fuel pump using the items included in the kit. Grease the new O-ring seal with clean engine oil and ensure the arrows on the fuel pump and tank are aligned.

    Complete the installation by reversing the removal procedure. Add at least 10 gallons of gas and start the engine to check for leaks.
